I have tested the new "offset mode" of Normal editor.
I'm a bit confused by the normal rotations.

What I expect is something like this


Please advice if I got this wrong.

Edit: is it like mixing toward the direction? If so, how many I need to mix to turn the normal 90 degs? Thanks.

Am inquiring how is the normal editing tools coming?
There has been a sudden development.

I got involved with an anime production with a famous Japanese studio (which I cannot disclose yet).
Normal editing is a major part of the workflow.
Some how we need a normal editing tool within 2 weeks (before September 11th).
For further details, you can PM me.

Thank you very much!!!
The artists from BNPR FB group will love this if they get this news.
I'll keep it hush for now.

I have tried that.
Hard to use, since there is no numerical input after pressing X/Y/Z.

Relative is easier to understand.
The basic workflow is like this:
1. Normals are default, some parts already have good reference normal
2. Base on the default you'll tweak (+ or -) it either X/Y/Z rotation

Compared to absolute:
1. Default normals
2. Change in absolute values, the normals jumped/snapped to rotation, the problem is here.
How many from default have you changed it?
I cannot repeat the same change on other areas.

Previously, there is an add-on that has this feature, LINK. It was a blast to use (since it copied User Normal Translator plugin for SoftImage). However, it is not maintained anymore.

Also I'll be using normal edit in my upcoming course, it is relatively harder to explain b4w's normal editing compared to the SoftImage's plugin or the no longer maintained add-on.

Could you guys add relative normal rotation?
Most of the time it's faster & more accurate.
Tab X+ times and done.

I have used the SoftImage normal transfer plugin, with the relative rotation makes normal editing really quick.
You start with the base normal and you edit base on that.
